From Wikipedia:

Stan Jones (born January 13, 1943) is a Libertarian Party politician who has twice run unsuccessfully for the United States Senate, in 2002 and 2006, and three times unsuccessfully as the Libertarian nominee for governor of Montana, in 2000, 2004, and 2008.

In his book The Disappearing Spoon, about the periodic table, author Sam Kean chronicled the experience of Jones, who developed argyria, which permanently turned his skin a blue-grey color, by consuming large quantities of home-made colloidal silver.[1] Jones' purposeful consumption of silver, which he believed to be an antibiotic, was a measure he undertook in response to his fears that the Y2K problem would make antibiotics unavailable, an event that did not occur

Jones is reported to have said, given the chance to go back, he would do it all over again.

Why is it always libertarians doing wacky shit like this? I guess this is why they call them lolberts

    I always loved his logic, like why would you think that it would be helpful to just take a bunch of antibiotics all at once?
